LMAO!! Remember those days??? LOL! I didn't get to see a cart in the time I did have with my PS3 GS demo since my PS3 conked out on me right in the middle of the first couple minutes of my 4th game!! I must laugh to keep from crying, now. I waited all this time to get to this demo, plugged in my GS code all day until it was finally live, waited over an hour for the damn thing to download and after finally getting it installed, POOF, my PS3 shows it's hateration. Hopefully, I can get this thing back in less than two weeks. UGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

I like madden though, not sure about some of these peeps.
Heres a crappy video just highlighting some stick skills of mine, which at least shows I like the game this is from '09. I have good stick skills, and this game doesnt seem as responsive as last years. For Instance, 1/2 the time i press pump fake, nothin happens.

(in a Joey Tribbiani voice) "I liked it"

luv the game speed feels like a real football game gotta get used to the game speed. Like using the stick on the defense of line to get past the offense of line, getting better at using it got 2 sacks so far since playing the demo. Finally i can play d-end in franchise and get 10+ sacks, in previous madden games the most i wud get in a season is 5 sacks.

I've gotta get me a demo code so I can try this out so jealous of you guys that are playing it right now!

Its a step back from '09. Looks like all the fools who complained about man defense got their way, its more lock, but unrealistic. Only thing I didnt like before was defenders had eyes in the back of their head, and they still do. Thanks for the false advertisement again EA. Now Man has morphed into something its not. I throw on the cuts the recievers make, but on this madden against man defense, the defenders know the route before its even ran. note I play on allmadden. I have aerial vison on madden, unlike QB's in the NFL. If a QB throws an out pass against man defense on the cut and leads him perfect, its almost an impossible play to stop in real life. Man should get tore up, despite what the madden community thinks.

Ooof, that is NOT good. Hopefully that it's just the build being older. 360 owners have said that the shorter demo is actually better than the longer demo that you are playing on. I have the same demo for my PS3 and have to admit that playing against the Steelers was a bit suspect when I was on O as the Cards because it seemed like they knew what I was going to do before I did it, most of the time, on All Pro. On Pro, they were dumb as an armchair on both sides of the ball. I just chalked up those issues to it being an earlier build of Madden 10. Good catch, though.

Well, I think I brought up a good point, maybe it was already shown before, \i dont know.

The game speed change is the biggest positive, I finally feel in control on the action again. All the other positives have been listed enough already. I'm ready for the damn retail version and now!

I think I smell another multiple Super Bowl Madden in the future for this Madden gamer. My friends are going to be ticked as I tear them apart again.

You did bring up a good point. I am interested to know if this happens on every out pattern. I recall running a few in the GameStop demo against man, and I burned the DB. So if this is just something that happens once in a while its cool. If not it needs to be patched.

The Tackle ends up blocking NOBODY. It's not a linebacker that gets in free it's a DE. The problem he is talking about for this play anyways are as follows: 1) the Tackle did not block the DE when he should have 2) Harrison does not step up and attack the run even though it is headed right at him (This is a football video game problem not a Madden problem - the run defense is not separated from the coverage called. You can tell the defense is in zone that's why Harrison scrapes outside even though the run is coming toward him. He should have attacked it, but whatcha gonna do). If Harrison steps up that Guard takes him on a lot earlier. This would be a pivotal point in the play right here. If Harrison takes him on correctly with his inside shoulder and maintains outside leverage the back would be dumb to keep going outside. The play would have to be cutback inside under the block of the Guard. So the Guard would need to kick Harrison out. If he loses the FB and the HB have to cutback inside. The FB would lead up inside the Guards block and take on ILB Timmons and ILB Farrior should be flowing over the top to meet the HB if he cuts it up inside. If he goes outside and Harrison wins the play is over in the backfield like what happens here. So the end result isn't necessarily wrong. If the HB cuts it back inside the block of the Guard then he might pick up 3 yards.

I watched that video and I was thinking the same thing about him cutting inside. That video was a terrible attempt to bash madden lol.

yeah, I aint too thrilled about them psychic DB's. I see it in NCAA 10, but its not a gamekiller for me yet.

# 1033 Moegames @ 07/24/09 03:13 AM

About Sliders... remember now when you use custom sliders in M10..they are backwards again. As in..the higher you adjust the sliders towards the right..the harder the difficultiy it is for you. Something i just had to explain to one of my friends as he had it backwards and was wondering why he couldnt run the rock as he said he had the runnig sliders filled or all the way to the right lol..i told him for the running slider to LEAVE it at ZERO..all the way to left to try it out first and then adjust to your own preference and he's like oh, they are backwards

Yeah i know it clearly shows this when you go thru rookie, all madden etc but when you actually use the custom sliders ..it can be habbit to think that moving them to the right makes it easier..not harder..when in reality it gets harder the more you move the sliders to the right...

The corner backs in this game CHEAT!

That upset me to learn that after my 2nd game playing. The man defense was terrible last year, so now they just let them cheat and run routes before WR's make their cuts. That is rediculous.

This man coverage flaw is going to be one of the biggest issues with Madden 10, no doubt about it.

Its happened a few times on 5 yard outs too, but on the replay there was another reciever on a short out to the right side that was open. Seems only when the back gets turned they cut before the reviever makes the cut.

# 1037 mmorg @ 07/24/09 03:27 AM

The only big complaint I have about it so far is that the CPU defends the pass really well. They jump every route and have stickum on their hands. This is only on All-Pro, not even on All Madden.

I like EA, they just oversell what they do sometimes. It seems I read on the madden blog that the 'eyes in the back of defenders head syndrome' would be fixed. I Also didnt like accelerated clock; the commercials on TV make it seem like a 5 minute demo.

Man defense was a little soft last year, but I also think its soft in real football. This games man is messing with my reads. Against man, I try to throw on the cuts the reciever makes. In the video I posted, the defender cuts a split second before the reciever does, the AI appears to cheat the route.

I threw a pass, WR jumped for it and it hit him straight in the numbers... and then went through him and out the numbers on the other side. Stuff like that isn't a death knell but it's still annoying. Also had a bunch of plays where the DB and WR overlap a LOT, like some sort of schizoid siamese twin.

I've also had the pro-tak experience where it's 4 guys mob the ball carrier and somehow all four guys just fall down and the ball carrier takes off. Before, you'd have had at least a couple shots at him, but now he can in one fell swoop break the tackles of half your team simultaneously and there's no one left to stop him.

One play (on pro), I forgot the controls changed and hit the bumper. My lineman jumps, falls down, spends 5 seconds getting back up, re-engages the defender, beats him, then runs over and tackles Eli. It was at the beginning of a quarter and the clock read 0:48 at the end. He impersonated a statue in the pocket for TWELVE SECONDS without passing it, scrambling, nothing. None of my other linemen could reach him in that 12 seconds either, it was a user-sack.

I'm not down on the game -- it looks miles better than any of the previous next-gen madden games. Just saying there's still plenty of room for improvement :-)

I love the slowed gameplay. I knew 09 was very not-fun for me and I think the speed was a large part of it. I would have never figured that out without playing the slower version though.
